Details
This is a limited edition alcoholic drink made by hand in small batches from natural grown apples donated from Lyndale Orchard, Eastham, Wirral, UK. It is somewhere between a refreshing cider and a dessert wine so we call it apple liquor. Each batch varies in taste but is equally delicious.
Our apple liquor is made from the hand picked local apples we grow and harvest in our own orchards. We rescue, plant and maintain community orchards where we grow local and heritage varieties which are blended with locally donated apples.
We prefer a natural and organic approach and this starts with how the fruit is grown. We do not use herbicides or pesticides in our orchards. We hand pick the apples and use natural fermentation methods and sweeten with sugar without using artificial preservatives. We prefer natural yeasts but may add specific strains of commercial yeast to enhance the end product in which case we add sodium metabisulfite to kill off any wild yeasts.
Every bottle sold helps us support our autisan urban orchards. All profits go directly toward community orchard projects and to further our beautiful work and charitable purposes including upskilling local people.
Product Features
Our Apple Liquor is a delicious medium bodied alcoholic drink with a fruity apple flavour somewhere between apple cider, dessert wine and a liqueur.
It is made from naturally grown, hand-picked apples, grown and harvested in our own community orchards, or we receive by donation from around the local area. We often add local grown pears to enhance the complexity.
Different apple varieties are mixed together, chopped and steeped using natural fermentation methods then matured for at least a year in small batches to produce a clean, crisp, medium bodied craft drink with a strong fruity apple flavour. Athough technically a cider, it has a wine like quality.
While you enjoy the refreshingly fruity taste of this wonderful hand made alcoholic drink, you can take pleasure in the knowledge all profits go toward upskilling autistic people and the local community.
